Since September 2017, the Fuxing China Standard EMU CR400 train has been put into operation on the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour, creating a new benchmark for the world's high-speed rail operation speed. Now, the CR450 EMU with a speed of 400 kilometers per hour is being developed intensively, and the prototype is planned to roll off the assembly line within the year.
The development of the CR450 EMU is another technological breakthrough on the basis of the CR400 Chinese standard EMU of Fuxing, which rolled off the assembly line in 2017, and the running speed of the train will be increased from 350 kilometers to 400 kilometers.
Since the launch of the CR450 scientific and technological innovation project in 2021, it has successively completed the development of 17 prototypes of new technology components, carried out 57 scientific research tests on the CR400 comprehensive testing train, and created a new record of 453 kilometers per hour for a single train on the open line of EMUs, 891 kilometers per hour for relative rendezvous and 840 kilometers per hour for tunnel rendezvous.
Zhang Dayong, Director of the Science and Technology and Information Technology Department of China Railway Group: At present, the CR450 EMU has completed the formulation of top-level indicators and overall plans, and has entered the stage of construction design and prototype development.
